David Belanger
President
Location: Boston, MA
As a twenty plus year veteran in the staffing industry and founder of The CERES Group, I bring real world experience to all aspects of the business and verticals The CERES Group represent. The business is personal for me and I love working with my staff, clients, and candidates every day. In this business, the only thing that matters is relationships. Where people work influences almost every aspect of their lives where they live, when they get engaged, where they buy a home and raise their families. This is something we at The CERES Group take a lot of responsibility for and not something we take lightly. During off hours, I can be found in a hockey rink coaching and cheering for my three kids or swinging a golf club.

Meera Oberoi

My main areas of expertise are in Strategy and Operational Excellence, Regional Regulation Compliance including UDI, Master Data Management and global enterprise system implementations. Over the course of my career I have learned that partnering with and supporting teams in their growth through execution and delivery yields top talent and innovation.

Anne Guyotte
Manager – Marketing & Operations
With over 20 years of experience rooted in customer service I believe every day starts with factual knowledge of who your clients are and understanding what is important to them as individuals as well as a collective whole. What makes marketing at The CERES Group so much fun is the company foundation of building personal relationships with candidates, clients and each other. A Masters in Business Administration from Nichols College and an undergraduate degree majoring in Marketing from Bryant College started my career; however, all the people I have met along the way have provided the most valuable and colorful lessons. I spend free time with my family and friends paddle boarding, hiking, singing at country concerts and traveling.
